Direct answer

Many patients report that the cost of Ozempic is a significant concern, often seeking ways to make it more affordable. While some successfully use manufacturer savings cards to reduce their out-of-pocket expenses, others, especially when insurance doesn't cover it for weight loss, pay the full price or look for options like Canadian pharmacies. One patient mentioned their friend's insurance stopped covering Wegovy, a related medication specifically for weight loss, highlighting potential challenges in obtaining insurance coverage for GLP-1s for weight management.
